It gives a lived-in feel to Waterdeep, full of rumors that might be true, or might not be. Making Volo semi-unreliable allows for the DM to take the best inspiration from it and discard or alter what they don't like. Two DMs can start with a location in Volo's Guide and have two very different takes. It also gives you that ground-level feel. Knowing how Waterdeep governs is useful, but knowing about the dangerous alleys or wild taverns can be more actionable.I adore Hallowfaust. It's a fascinating setting that upends the necromancer as villain trope. It's anything but generic and I include it in my games whenever I can.</blockquote>
